Three Pops In Montana Are Now Banned Forever
First off, let's get this out of the way: in Montana, we call it pop; it's not soda, so we'll be calling it pop for the rest of this article.

The FDA Just Banned This Pop Additive
With more focus on what is in our food and drinks and what we are putting in our bodies, the FDA has come out and banned an additive they claim is "no longer considered safe."
The additive is called Brominated Vegetable Oil, or BVO for short. It's actually been used in foods since the 1920s.
That said, on July 3, 2024, they issued their "final rule" and revoked the use of BVO in foods. According to the Today Show, this affects three people in Montana.
